I'm a prospective teacher looking at taking a month-long TEFL course before going over to Korea this fall. I have the option of taking the course in May, June, or July.

I currently have a job now, but I don't want to leave it before I have to. I'd like to have the TEFL before I start looking, though. How long should I expect to hunt for a job in Korea? I'd probably be looking at hagwons. I'm not too picky about salary, but I would want a place that pays for my ticket there.

The process from beginning to get your documents to securing a job to arriving in Korea is around 3 months. Start getting your documents ready now as you won't be considered for jobs unless you already have them ready.
